Dominicans living in Antigua and Barbuda are preparing to support the ruling Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party in the upcoming general election, according to community advocate Alex Martinez.
Mr Martinez said there was growing support within the Dominican diaspora for the party, citing its record on economic development, stability and opportunities for Caribbean nationals.
“Dominicans with Labour are ready,” he said, adding that many believe the current administration has created an environment where regional migrants can live and work productively.
He said members of the community had been mobilising quietly, encouraging eligible voters to take part in the electoral process.
The backing comes as political activity intensifies, with Prime Minister Gaston Browne indicating that elections are due within 90 days.
Mr Martinez said the support reflected a desire for continued progress and regional unity.
“This is about supporting stability and a future that benefits everyone living here,” he added.

Disgraceful! The UPP needs to take a strong stand against these invaders. We need mass deportations now.
Before this gets out of hand Dominicans as in Dominican Republic (Spanish)…
No surprises here. The UPP has never understood how to handle the Spanish people. They have tried to use a policy of come and work, live like a good citizen and your life will be good. They did not understand the power of the lucre. It was always ‘you give me I vote for you.’
Even when the UPP embraced them in 2009 and did so much for the community, they still went big for ALP in 2014.
Guess game knows game.
No shame 👀
Labor party members have no shame .
@Mr Byam. Keep dreaming you xenophobic piece of shit💩but you know it will never happen! Perhaps someone should advocate you being deported back to West Africa or the UK or wherever your people came from since I know you are not a descendent of the Arawak people who were the first documented indigenous people of Antigua.
You cry about “invaders” but carry/use the name Byam that was the family name who “invaded” Antigua a few hundred years ago, owned hundreds of slaves and executed many of them. Read about Governor Byam and the rest of his family and their notorious past in Antigua you silly fool.🖕🏿
That’s what I have been saying, did you see right after Chantel murder the the ALP government and Gaston keep inviting Santo Domingo ambassador to host visits, that was them sanitizing the Spanish community that maria and cutie have to depend on for votes, and even Gaston, and they manipulating the court to let that murderer off the hook, attorney Wendell is no superman in these cases, he and the attorney general and ALP working together behind the scenes, watch and see in the future if ALP lose power that Wendell will become to defense lawyer joining with Anthony astaphan to defend ALP former ministers after they are investigated by a new government.
Antiguan are last and at the bottom of the barrel for foreigners to climb up on their backs and develop themselves, in fact they did so with our passports until they are not valid now, and a Guyanese and Jamaican passport bigger than Antigua passport now through ALP and even UPP, because both party keep giving them citizenship when them win election, but ALP and Gaston exploit it ten folds with the never ending amnesty.
I’m sorry we are in the same boat Antigua /Barbuda and Dominica. Now that we have seen the end of Caricom we are now enter into a new era the Monroe Doctrine which will be fully implemented. Decisions have to be made within weeks by these two countries will it be Chinese or United States🇺🇸 Kamla made a comment on 4.1.2028 take note ask Rowling she threw a stone in the pen guess who squeel. Who is or new boss of the hemisphere is it🇬🇾
IS THIS REALLY NEWS? THIS IS NOTHING NEW AT ALL.THEY ARE ALLOWED UNDER THIS ADMINISTRATION TO DO ALMOST AS THEY LIKE IN AND AROUND ANTIGUA.THEY MOVED INTO NEIGHBORHOODS AND MAKE NOISE ALL NIGHTS.WHAT REALLY AMAZES ME.WHERE THEY CAME FROM DOES NOT GIVE YOU CITIZENSHIP IF BORN THERE.HOWEVER,THEY ACQUIRED CITIZENSHIP OF ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA BY ANCESTRY.HOW DO WE KNOW FOR SURE OF THAT?HOW DO WE KNOW THAT A PARENT CAME FROM ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA TO THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC? THAT IS A DAMN SHAME. THERE THOUSANDS OF HAITIANS LIVING IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC FOR DECADES.THEY HAVE CHILDREN BORN THERE AND NONE OF THEM ARE CITIZENS OF THAT COUNTRY.ANTIGUANS, WE AS NATIONALS NEED TO TAKE OVER OVER DAMN COUNTRY OF BIRTH.
Antigua & Barbuda needs an I.C.E. to make it MAGA again for Antiguans instead of MARGA.
Trump’s a bitch but even bitches have a few good qualities.
ABLP understands the power of gangster and garrison politics.
It’s amazing and embarrassing that black Antiguan racists actually exist. Some of you uneducated/backward morons commenting above must be some of the most stupid people on the entire island but keep talking your nonsense since you can’t do anything else about who comes to this island except cry like little girls.
Stay miserable you worthless imbeciles.
@ Stingray,
You are obviously offended when you read the truth especially when it about Santo Dominicans.
You attempt to insult and cast disdain for those who criticize the political system.
In doing so, you are the one who appears to be a miserable you worthless imbecile.
@Stingray how do you feel about the treatment of Haitians born in Santo Domingo and are not citizens of that country?
Next are the government of Santo Domingo practicing racism for deporting Haitians back to Haiti?
If you ever lived in Florida, New Jersey, New York and Canada do you ever see the members of the Dominican Republic interacting or supporting any Antiguan & Barbudans social activities?
Ask Caribbean people living in these Communities how much support do they get from the Santo Domingo communities.
Even here in Antigua you can recognize their behaviors and actions as being clannish. So don’t talk about black people in Antigua been racist because as a matter of fact the darker skinned citizens of the same Dominican Republic are treated by those of the mulatto and Spaniard breed like their servants and hand maids.
It’s funny as fuck when you stand up for your rights you are deemed racist.
The Dominican Republicans living in Antigua have no regard for the Antigua culture nor the rule of law which governs the state. Therefore why shouldn’t Antiguans stand their ground and defend what their foreparents fought and died for.
They, the indigenous Antiguans have been used by the poliTRICKtans, charlatans, crooks who are charged with managing their affairs for the past FIFTY plus years by allowing not just these folks from Santo Domingo but other outside nationalities as well. These include the Caucasians, Middle Easterners and in recent times the Nationals of those from the Caribbean region.
There is nothing wrong with INTEGRATION but when it’s lopsided and openly threatens indigenous cultures, and those of the indigenous culture becomes too complacent, they will eventually become extinct.
Antiguans have every right to stand their ground and stand up for their rights and if this makes them RACIST. Xenophobic or classist towards others then so be it.
Antiguans need to wake up from their slumber realize and recognize the dangers of being too complacent and if the past FIFTY YEARS have not taught them anything about the HISTORY of HUEman displacement by design, then they deserve to be stepped on like CROCOUS BAG FLOOR MAT.

Stingray is one of the hungry belly invaders the ALP has dumped on this poor country. They must be deported!
@Jose King. I am offended at the stupidity, ignorance and uneducated bottom feeders like you who apparently were born on the same island as me. Stay stupid retard.
@Ras Smood. Stop your fucking moaning you senile old bastard. Your can’t change shit but keep yapping and crying as you get left behind! Those poor Haitians, those horrible British and French, those evil Americans, those greedy Chinese, scammy Jamaicans, blah, blah, fucking blah. Listen to you, an excuse making fool, bitter and confused with no hope for the future and powerless to change it. Keep complaining – no one cares.🤣
@Mr Byam. I was born at Holberton you uneducated, worthless fuck but with a name like Byam, you clearly have some colonial slaveowner blood in your body so either you are a white racist or the most confused black Antiguan racist on the island. Continue talking your fantasy shit about deportation🤣 since you are weak and powerless to do anything about it except cry like a pussy bitch on this website.
